I will draw a parallel about buying a private property and emigration. Many years ago, I noticed that many of my staff were living in HDB flats while their income allowed for private property. After chatting with them, 2 issues propped up
1) Sacred or don't know how to handle lawyers and conveyancing for private property
2) They had not done their sums and many thought that private property maintenance fees were more than HDB. Many did not realise that there are no parking fees in private property.
I found them a lawyer, provided some direction and all those who could afford moved on to private properties. I still get calls about this.
Its the same with emigration. Why in the world would you not want to move to a 1st world country and let your children and theirs enjoy the better opportunities.
